Physical education is as old as man. In ancient Greece and Rome physical training held an important place in the educational programme for boys and girls. The very existence of our primitive ancestors depended upon their ability to secure food to erect crude shelters in caves, forests or on mountain slopes to battle successfully with changing weather elements and to refresh their bodies through sleep, rest and play. Many games and skills are being described further in this book. (jacket)
